If you look at the shape of the gas tank, there is a large hump in the middle of it. It is indeed g-forces that cause the gas to slosh over the hump to the side without a fuel pickup. The fuel starvation issue seems to occur when there is a combination of g-forces and lots of throttle around a long right hand curve. With regard to speed, it's more about the individual curve; different curves are going to see different speeds. I wouldn't be surprised if someone were able to induce fuel starvation by doing donuts in a parking lot.
Basically, try a long right hand curve as fast as the Z can take it at high RPMs with very little gas. This is your best chance to induce fuel starvation
